Creative Technology Producer 

This role contributes to the development and execution of complex, technology-driven creative projects. This role blends technical competence with production leadership, managing the intersection of software, systems, content, and team members. They are expected to be fluent in the tools, systems, and methods that power modern entertainment—from AI and web platforms to real-time rendering, cloud infrastructure, show control, and immersive design. 

You will support and produce digital experiences (web, mobile, VR/AR), technology integration for experiential productions, cloud stack provisioning & maintenance, and exploring emerging technologies. You'll be expected to lead the following areas with confidence, experience, and practical expertise:

  • Front End: Deep expertise in front-end experience development, including full-stack application development across web, mobile, and VR platforms, with a focus on creating engaging and intuitive user interfaces. 
  • Back End: Solid foundation in back-end technologies, including REST and GraphQL APIs, real-time systems, cloud infrastructure & system administration (AWS, Azure, GCP), DevOps practices, and Linux server administration, ensuring robust and scalable application performance. 

While not responsible for building every component directly, this role requires enough technical depth to scope work, align teams, direct vendors, and maintain accountability across a multidisciplinary landscape. You need a grounded understanding of the tools and systems behind modern interactive and immersive experiences—and the leadership skills to direct teams working within them. 

WORK YOU'LL DO

  • Lead cross-disciplinary projects that may combine web systems, real-time rendering, AI, and physical technology into cohesive guest or operator-facing experiences 
  • Manage timelines, priorities, and scope across creative, engineering, production, and vendor teams 
  • Oversee vendor relationships for web development, infrastructure, immersive technology, and show control systems, including SOW creation, technical oversight, and deliverable review 
  • Coordinate integration of LLMs, agents, and other AI tools into systems and prototypes, ensuring alignment with security, privacy, and enterprise usage policies 
  • Translate creative goals into technical requirements and system architectures; define build plans, budgets, and delivery expectations 
  • Represent technical needs in client meetings, creative reviews, budget discussions, and executive updates 
  • Oversee deployment and hosting of production systems, ensuring scalability, security, and availability across cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) 
  • Maintain system documentation, including architecture diagrams, integration points, data flows, configuration histories, and access logs 
  • Ensure all systems, platforms, and vendors follow ISO 27001/9001 standards and enterprise information security policies 
  • Create and maintain compliance documentation, including policy maps, risk assessments, change logs, audit trails, and system ownership records 
  • Collaborate with security and IT teams to meet enterprise requirements for procurement, access control, incident response, and system onboarding 
  • Track and report on compliance posture for internal collaborators and enterprise partners, including documentation for audits and certification processes 
  • Identify and mitigate risks across technical, operational, and legal domains, proactively flagging gaps in documentation, security, or policy alignment 
  • Act as primary technical contact during staging, rehearsals, or live activations—triaging issues and coordinating cross-team resolution 
  • Stay ahead of on emerging technologies in AI, real-time graphics, cloud platforms, and compliance tooling; advocate for strategically sound adoption 

You’ll need enough fluency to speak the language, evaluate partners, and direct integration across these areas. Depth is not expected, but awareness, judgment, and curiosity are required. 

  • AI Tools & Agents
  • Virtual Production & Real-Time Rendering  
  • 3D & Spatial Production (CAD, 3D environments, and real world builds) 
  • Game Development & Simulation Platforms 
  • Control & Show Systems
  • Compliance & Enterprise Policy Awareness
